EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of exquisite Wedgewood mugs that were created to commemorate the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Designed by the talented Eric Ravilious, these ceramic mugs stand at an impressive height of 10cm and are now part of a private collection. Ravilious was renowned for his artistic contributions to Wedgwood, and this particular design originally began as a celebration mug for King Edward VIII's proposed coronation. However, it was later modified to honor both George VI and Queen Elizabeth II's ascension to the throne. The image captures the elegance and craftsmanship of these historic pieces, which symbolize not only a significant event but also pay homage to British royalty. The matching pair stands side by side, showcasing their regal beauty with intricate details and delicate patterns. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of the importance placed on commemoration during mid-20th century Britain. These mugs serve as tangible reminders of past celebrations and events that have shaped our nation's identity. With no people present in the image, our focus is solely on these remarkable objects themselves – their materiality evoking feelings of nostalgia while simultaneously glorifying moments from olden times. This print truly celebrates artistry, history, and the enduring legacy of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
